Twinkys...

[flez1966]

This thread can't stop! No..........................

Its the longevity of the twinkys.....

what annoys me the most, some ex friend i d came to NY just a few months ago, and NEVER got me any...., he's an acquaintance now....

[MikeFairbanks]

There are plenty where I live. I prefer the deadlier version, the Chocodile. It's twinky dipped in plasticy chocolate, the same kind of chocolate that's on the ding dong.

[flez1966]

i hate you all...........

[Pure]

I can never decide if I like the deep fried twinkys or snikers bars better.

Gawd no wonder I have a gut. lol

[flez1966]

right i'm off to an helpful forum where someone will sell me twinkys!

there i was hoping to set up an international black market in self indulgent beverages but no you keep them all to yourseves!

I still use mp3car now and again i'm sure someone on their may help set up a group buy....

I blame walmart, they buy out our all 'asda' stores and then dont bring anything new to the product range.....

i shall have a brew and console myself with a few genuine jafa cakes


/what this other thing i have heard about, 'devil dogs' ?

[bigmoose]

Flez, the wifey came through today!! We have Genuine, Real, Unadulterated Twinkies for you!!

Now I'll foot the bill for the Twinkies, and all you have to do is help me figure out how to ship them to you and cover the shipping, what could be better!

Two unopened boxes of your favorite snack!

... maybe I should start a bidding war for them?

Seriously, real twinks are the best, but Little Debbie will still make a twinky shaped food.

Hey mon, these are no immitation Twinkis, these are the real deal, Amerikan made Hostess stored in the vault TWINKIES! REAL DEAL TWINKIES! Now rare, hard to find, UNOBTANIUM!

Make a bid gents, there are only two boxes available today! ... flez get's first "dibs" of course!

[flez1966]

OMG real twinkys!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


what would shipping be, it can be too far fetched (!) as I'm sure us->uk is a much fairer price than uk->us which is 'a bit pricey'

if you can find out, then I will be willing to recompense, and have a twinky party with friends and photos's of happy faces with twinkys!

[bigmoose]

Ok, here is the scoop. I think!

A flat rate large video box to the UK is $16.92 US and is 9x6x2 inches give or take. The box of Twinkies is 9x5.25x3. I will bet I can "squish" most of a single box into the Large Flat Rate Box for you if I take them out of the Hostess box. I can cut off the top and fit it into the flat rate box for a momento suitable for framing. To ship the two boxes of Twinkies will take two Large Flat Rate boxes at around $34 US or $17 a box of GENUINE Hostess Twinkies delivered.

Now we could go to the Flat rate medium box of 11x8x5.5 ~ 440cu inches for $48 bucks. Considering that the Twinkies are about 135 cu in per box, I could likely get the wifey to get another box and we could ship you 3 boxes of GENUINE Hostess Twinkies for $48 or $16 box.

Let me know what fits you desire and I will go to the next step of trying to find these magical flat rate international boxes... I don't think my rural, one cow per resident post office has them... but I do go to the "big city" weekly and will go looking.

These things have to leave my kitchen, they are calling for me to open them... how to resist...

PS: When these things get to you we need some pix posted or a video or something!

You can order, for free, the USPS flat rate boxes, from the USPS site. They deliver them to your door with your mail.

[dogman]

Yeah, the box is free, mailing it you pay. It's cool though, you don't have to schlepp down to get it.

This thread reminds me of green chile. Living at the source, you always run into another at UPS, also shipping chile to somebody desperate for a real fix. I've mailed a lot of cans, and bags of it fresh to those only a few states away.

[aroundqube]

This weeks super market circular for Stop and Shop has Twinkies buy one get one free so I had a look, and there were "New" genuine "imitation chocolate flavor" filling Twinkies by the box on the shelf. After reading the saturated fat content,etc they remained on the shelf.But I admit to really wanting them.

[flez1966]

Right I need to apologise for being a pita but I was in a bit of turmoil over if i could afford the postage, its like 5 gallons of gas, and then a friend messaged me and asked what it was i wanted ''them funny chocolate things'' so i said twinkys and he said ''yes how many do you want, someone here (he's hospital staff) is off to america and will get them'' so as you can see, 5 gals of gas in postage or free, I have to choose free really

Sorry for the messing about, its just one of those coincidences that life throws at you and i do feel like a right <insert whatever suits>


is there anything in the UK that is hard to find over there?
(although we cant do genuine rowntrees products anymore, the factory has been bulldozed)(except for kitkat, but it wil be going soon as production shifts to poland) and Terrys (of the famous chocolate orange) is being turned into apartments...
(both york companys, where I am)

[bigmoose]

Flez, no problem! This shipping is over the top after I checked it out. I can always add them to our 90 day contigency food supply locker. Knowing they will keep for generations!

Don't worry, the fun I had with this thread was worth it in every way! ... us ol' guys are easily amused!

[Ypedal]

damit.. now i have a craving and am curious about fried twinkies......

[bigmoose]

Oh Gaston.... I have two boxes... it is "cheap" to ship to Canada...

The TWINKIES are calling... real USA made Twinkies!



... maybe I should start a for sale thread? I'll even autograph the boxes. Gen-U-wine USA, bigMoose approved Twinkies! FTW!

OMG... that was GREAT! I hate coconut! I absolutely hate coconut! I could never understand who though snowballs were good for anything but doorstops.

... if I keep this up, you are going to move this to the cesspool...... aren't you Gaston?

Remember 2 boxes available. Per the label 3000 life sustaining calories. No useless fiber, only 360 grams of sugar happiness, 20 grams of pure Protein, no useless vitamin A, or C or Calcium, but 40% of your required Iron! What more would you want? ... well there is some fat too.

[Dauntless]

Have mercy, please, you gotta stop talking about this stuff. Not only are there a pile of boxes at the grocery store ON SALE, many twinkies for $3; but I LOVE coconut, too.

So I was at the Rolfer yesterday, trying to get the use of my shoulder and leg back, asking him if he thought I might have an unusual tendency for inflammation. He got a look on his face and said: 'I think you actually have an unusual tendency to keep going when others would already be crying out in agony, making all this inflammation inevitable."

Considering what I can do to myself running, carrying heavy objects, riding bikes near vertically, imagine what I could do sitting around with a few boxes of Twinkies. You just don't know how lucky I am that they don't just put the coconut on twinkies. Relatively inactive lately, out of the blue I ran the nearly a mile back to my truck last week before the leg was ready and really sent it off the deepend. I'm fat enough from all the inactivity. Don't remind me about Twinkies.

[The fingers]

IMHO, the Hostess Snowball was the all time greatest!

[deVries]

HaHa... 37 posts but just read BigMoose's funny one.

Did the guy ever get his twinkie?

Such a sugar & sleep deprivation being so isolated on a tropical island.

[bigmoose]

No the shipping was really steep to get it across the pond.

...So... I have two boxes still, ... Well almost two boxes! One box is minus one wee little Twinkie! Oh the joy of my boyhood memories rekindled! My willpower is diminishing, the Twinkies are over 1000 miles away from me right now, and I can still hear them calling! The flavor from that open box is waffing into the air! ~~~ waft ~~~ waft ~~~waft

I'm going to sugar up 19 kids this Sunday with them if no one wants real, genuine, USA born Twinkies, personally autographed by the one and only bigMoose!

[Dauntless]

So now Hostess, the people who made all this possible, is saying that they might not survive their bankruptcy. Dang, what would this do to the twinkie, the dingdong/hoho, the Hostess cupcake? (NOOOOOOO, NOT the Hostess cupcake!)

They have bakeries everywhere, so layoffs would hit about every state. Did you know they're UNION?

[Ypedal]

I checked our local grocery store last weekend, we dont have Twinkies here, even tho we have Hostess products..

Our equivalent is by brand " Vachon " ..
